Where next in Ukraine?LONDON, U.K.—The recovery of the city of Kherson is the third big victory for the Ukrainian armed forces in three months: first, the reconquest of the province of Kharkiv Oblast in September, then the partial destruction of the Kerch Strait bridge linking Crimea with Russia in October, and now the liberation of Kherson. So where next? The decisive factor in shaping this war has been the relatively small number of troops engaged on either side. When the Nazi and Soviet armies were waging their titanic battles back and forth across Ukraine in 1941-43, several million soldiers were fighting on each side, with tanks, planes, and artillery to match. Once a breakthrough occurred, in those conditions, the front could move hundreds of kilometres before it settled down again. Many cities changed hands, not once or twice, but four times. This time around, it’s very different: the armies have got small again. The Russians invaded last February with fewer than 200,000 men. Even now, after considerable reinforcements but also significant losses, their army in Ukraine is 250,000 at most. Ukraine’s army has grown at least as fast, but from a much lower starting point, and probably now has about the same number at the front. The problem is that the “front,” the line of contact between Ukrainian and Russian troops, is about one thousand kilometres long. That means each side has an average of only 250 soldiers per kilometre, or one for every four metres. In reality, more than half these soldiers will be behind the front, manning artillery, driving trucks with supplies, staffing field hospitals, and so on, so the men at the actual line of contact are spread out to around one every 10 metres. Allowing for the fact that the Ukrainian front was actually much shorter for most of the Second World War—it was usually a relatively straight line, not drawn out in a great U-shaped curve like the current line of contact—we can safely say that the density of manpower per kilometre of the front wa
